Just for fun and a way to find new scent profiles - while acknowledging ChatGPT is pretty flawed in a variety of areas - I asked what items James Bond (my family name is Bond so it’s obligatory as was my purchase of TOBS
) would shave with if he were to shave today and this is what I got:
“If James Bond were to shave today, he’d likely opt for high-end, performance-driven products with a touch of classic British elegance. Here’s what I think he’d use:
I don’t have the inventory to try this but I looked up Floris No. 89 because I haven’t heard of it and am now interested because of its potential tie to Ian Fleming.
I thought this was a fun way to discover something new and unlock some profiles with the vast array of products out there. What do you think, do you agree with the profile?
It would be fun to see your results here too and whether you agree, if you can do it, if you would like to try it, and/or what you think of it if you can do it.
Just type in to the ChatGPT search:
“If _________ were to shave today, what razor, shave soap or cream, and aftershave products would he/she use?”
And post your response and your thoughts/experience.

“If James Bond were to shave today, he’d likely opt for high-end, performance-driven products with a touch of classic British elegance. Here’s what I think he’d use:
Razor
- Henson AL13 or Blackland Blackbird Ti – Bond would appreciate precision engineering and a close, comfortable shave. The Henson AL13’s aerospace-grade aluminum construction and the Blackbird’s aggressive yet refined design suit his no-nonsense approach.
Shave Soap or Cream
- Geo. F. Trumper Eucris Shaving Soap or Cream – A sophisticated, classic scent with notes of blackcurrant, sandalwood, and musk, fitting for a man of Bond’s style. Trumper is also a renowned British brand, aligning with his heritage.
- Floris No. 89 Shaving Soap – This was reportedly Ian Fleming’s favorite scent and has been associated with Bond. It offers a refined citrus and woody aroma.
Aftershave
- D.R. Harris Windsor Aftershave – A perfect mix of traditional and modern, with citrus, pepper, and vetiver, giving Bond an air of confidence.
- Floris No. 89 Aftershave Balm – If he’s feeling traditional, he’d go with this balm to match his shaving soap.
